Wide outdoor photograph of a large crowd of people in red and orange clothing standing in a tightly packed curved formation on a red carpet, arranged to form a giant symbol. Many wear red or orange robes and some white. Around the formation, onlookers sit on the dusty ground and stand in small groups, some in white kurtas and dark trousers. Behind them are construction scaffolding, a yellow crane, green netting, palm and tree foliage, and distant hills under a hazy sky. A purple bird logo appears in the top left corner. The page indicates this is the Guinness record formation of the sacred syllable Om; the formation shape is visible but the symbol is not fully legible from this angle. No single individual can be identified in the crowd.
